The carpet tiles found on this page are the ones we most often recommend for use in dining rooms and in areas close to the kitchen. In general we do not recommend using a carpeting solution directly in a kitchen since harder and more resilient surfaces such as ceramic tile, vinyl, and laminate are better equipped to handle that type of environment. However if you would like to have a softer floor surface in your dining room or at your breakfast bar, these tiles are what we recommend. These tiles tend to also be more stain resistant than the average carpet tile.
